if you could decide which size the new yastmaster I or Daytona would have, which size would it be ?

Both will get an update sooner or later

I voted 40mm as I find it's a very good size for me, but was tempted to vote 42mm.

Many other brands have gone up to 42mm as their standard size. I don't need a 42mm just because everyone else has one, but I also don't want to see Rolex left behind when styles change.

P.S. When did Rolex go to 40mm on watches like the Sub, GMT, Exp II, Daytona, and did they increase sizes before many of the other brands?

I like them at 40mm. I have other watches which are larger. When I want to wear something larger and a bit different I wear those, but 40mm is a great size for a watch.

40mm is just right for me, maybe the daytona a bit larger , but no more than 42mm. The Yachtmaster should not be bigger than 40mm IMHO, it would be out of proportion.. Bigger is't always better

I voted 40mm. Not sure of the point of the poll. Which watch?

I like the sizes the have. 36mm DJ, DD & and on.
I really won't care for any watch over 42mm.

40mm is a good size. 42 is ok on the right watch.

Anything larger should have a steak and baked potato on it.

I agree with most others posted here in that I like the 40mm to 42mm range for my watches.

My first choice is 40mm but depending on the watch a 42mm is fine too.

No need to go past 40mm. It's the perfect size for a Rolex!

40mm with slender lugs. No need to change perfection
